If you compare Roman life with the Filipino's lives during the Spansih colonization, the similarities are that both have experienced hardships like having a "tyrant" government officials. Executions are everywhere and laws are strictly imposed. One violation could mean your death. The government controls all the activities that are going on in society and all activities must be subjected to their approval.

What culture did the spanish influences filipino?

Language, religion (especially), architecture and food. The three main things.LanguageIt is no surprise, that the Spanish colonists brought over the Spanish language to the Philippines. But understand, that Philippines and Spain are too far apart. So, the Philippines was ruled from what is now Mexico. Also, the Spanish language was not spoken by a majority. Proabably only 30-48% of Filipinos began to speak Spanish at the time. Because, someone made a good point when they said that the Philippines was colonized. Not conquered, like Mexico. Filipinos also spoke Mexican Spanish, not Castilian (European Spanish). A lot of words from old Filipino Spanish are from native Mexican dialects. When the Philippines declared independance from Spain, Spanish still remained the official language of the Philippines, although spoken by a bare 40% still. In the 1970s, the Filipinos began an anti-Hispanic culture revolution. But today, the Spanish language has still influenced the linguistic traits of Filipinos. Tagalog, or Filipino which is the national language of the Philippines; contains an innumerable amount of Spanish cognates. The days of the week are still told in Spanish, as well as time telling. Also, there is a native dialect called Chevacano in the Philippines. It is a Spanish-creole.ReligionAlthough, the Philippines was colonized not conquered. But it was still colonized in a conquered-manner. The Spanish, brought over the Roman Catholic religion. Prior to this, Filipinos were a majority Muslim, with large populations of Buddhists and Animists and Hindus. About 90% of Filipinos were converted to the Roman Catholic religion. The Spanish didn't really have a hard time converting the Filipinos unlike the bloodshed they caused in Mexico and South America. Compare to the Filipino's Malay brothers down south, their colonists didn't care about converting people. So think of Malaysian people like Filipinos without a Spanish ancestry. The reason for this, is because the Spanish people had just finished off a Muslim empire that had once ruled Spain. They were appaulled at the presence of Muslims in the Philippines. But a remaining 5-10% of Filipino are still Muslims. They live in the Muslim Region of Mindanao. Mindanao, is still a majority Catholic population.FoodI love this part the most. You see I'm from the Philippines, and when I came to America and was educated about Spanish and Mexican culture; I noticed a lot of heart-striking similarities between the culinary cuisines of Mexico and Philippines. The Spanish also brought in food. Lechon, is a popular Hispanic dish. But it is now the national dish of the Philippines. You'll find lechon in every rich Filipino party. This is an entire roasted pig. Also, chicharonnes are also pork they can be chicken too. They are deep fried to the point of drying and eaten as a snack. A lot of times, dipped in vinegar (Filipinos) and hot sauce (Mexicans). Flan, is a the Spanish version of European custard. In Mexico, it's twisted a little and a little denser and harder than the European version. In the Philippines, it is a national dessert. I'd tip my hats of to Filipinos for even calling in "lecheplan", "leche" means "milk" in Spanish. The Filipino version is the same as the Mexican version. Crispi patta, is basically the same as lechon. Basically, the Spanish introduced pork and alcohol into Philippine cuisine. Since by the time the Spanish left, 90-95% of Filipinos were already Catholic converts. So no need, for the Islamic restriction of pork and alcohol except for the minority Muslims.ArchitectureSpanish-Mexican architecture, still remains in the Philippines. The Catholic churches in the Philippines highly resemble those from Mexico. Not Spain. A lot of Filipino religious architecture, is built Mexican-Spanish style. Catholics in the Philippines are also big fans, of worshipping Mother Mary statues like that (which personally I find to be bad), and Catholics from Mexico also show the same practice.
